Advanced mathematical and numerical analysis of induction hardening of steel Ghent University
Induction heating is a non-contact heating process. A large alternating current is passing through a work coil. This generates a very intense and rapidly changing magnetic field in the space within the work coil. The workpiece to be heated moves within this intense alternating magnetic field. The alternating magnetic field induces a current flow in the conductive workpiece. These physical events are described by a strongly coupled system of ...
